Your job, as a group, is to plan a one week vacation for a family of four. The family consists of a father, a mother, a teenage boy, and a seven-year-old girl. After researching the assigned region, your group will plan the family's vacation. You will research the people, climate, economy, culture, geographic features, language, heritage, and leisure activities. Your group will incorporate individual interests and desires into the vacation plans so that each member of the family is satisfied. Compromise will be necessary. . What should the family pack? .
